Market Overview

Quarterly Update on Global Sodium Lignosulphonate Market

For the Quarter Ending December 2020

Asia

Demand for Sodium Lignosulphonate in the Asian market in Q4 2020 increased in comparison to the Q2 and Q3 2020 because of an appreciable increase in demand for concrete mixture and cement segments. As the construction industry regained stability in Q4 2020, the growth of Sodium Lignosulphonate increased in Asian countries like China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, etc. China being one of the leading traders of Sodium Lignosulphonate also experienced growth in its export demand across the region. Even though the petroleum industry was heard under pressure, owing to the oil and drilling activities, prices of Sodium Lignosulphonate have remained range bound.

Europe

Stuck by a new strain of Coronavirus, Europe imposed a partial lockdown in November in several part of the region due to which the paper and pulp industry remained closed. Owing to strict trading and travelling restriction and non-availability of raw material, the supply of the product was observed to be negligible. As an alternative, Calcium Lignosulphonate is being used in the end-use industries due to the easier availability of the raw material Calcium Hydroxide in comparison to sodium hydroxide.

North America

A large number of small-scale industries are involved in the manufacturing of sodium lignosulphonate like Flambeau. Due to ease in lockdown, the paper and pulp industry regained stability, and the production of by-products Lignosulphonates consequently increased. Following the ease in availability of raw material, the production of Sodium Lignosulphonate also strengthened. The import of Sodium Lignosulphonate from European countries also increased, and the prices were observed to have increased in Q4 2020 in comparison to Q3 2020.

About

Sodium Lignosulphonate is manufactured by adding Sodium Hydroxide or Sodium Carbonate with the liquid phase raw pulp that contains lignosulphonates, salts, and sugars, etc. Lignosulfonates are obtained from sulfite pulping processes. Sodium Lignosulphonate is relatively costlier than calcium lignosulphonate due to the higher cost of the raw material. Sodium Lignosulphonate is available in majorly three grades depending on the pH level, color and lignosulphonate content. Sodium Lignosulphonate can be used as a dispersing agent and plasticizer for the manufacturing of concrete and cement. It also has applications as dispersants in the pesticides and dyes industry in very small quantities. In the coming years, it is expected that the demand for the product will decrease and so will the supply as the pulp industries are focusing to introduce a new spent acid process that does not produces lignosulphonates.
